The game that got me hooked.

I bought this for a buddy and I on the website a couple months ago. Never have I been into rouge-likes, they always seem tedious and boring, but this game changed my perception of them. The point of Barony is to see how far you can go before you die. And you will die.... . . . . .allot. Just when you find that badass ring, fully geared, ready for anything: WHACK! A boulder smashes you into oblivion. This game is not for the meek. There is no saving, only a scoreboard. If you can gather a party of people (even just a buddy) you'll feel like you're about to embark on a grand D&D-style adventure, or something, with out the Turns. It's fantastic! Sometimes it can also be down right scary. The fear of permadeath creeps up your spine once you hear "My Minotaur's hungry." This is your cue to GTFO of the level before you're chased by a huge bull smashing through walls! Literally! I give this game a 10/10. One of the best rouge-likes not many have heard about.

Blinded by pie so a rat almost killed me

I had been reading a bit about Barony when researching roguelikes, so when it suddenly appeared on GoG, I instabought it. The game is easy to get into - no drawn-out intro sequence or tutorial missions. Just start a new game and you're in a dungeon, trying to survive. (Spoiler: You won't!) The dungeon felt solid and dangerous, with enemies that actually scared me. There is something about this game that makes it more real than a lot of other titles. Maybe because the gameplay is founded on the proud traditions of PC gaming, as opposite to those console-wannabe PC games that mostly come off as some linear tech demos. Like the gameplay, the retro graphic really captures the era of DOS gaming. It doesn't take more than a few hits to kill an enemy, but you can't take many hits yourself either. The game has a good balance. It is hard, but not so hard that it spoils the fun. The rules are fair, and I always have the feeling that each death was something I could have avoided. To sugarcoat things a bit, most modern roguelikes unlocks new content when you die. Not this one! I could do with a bit of sugarcoating, but it ensures that your success in the game is purely about your own abilities, and not about having unlocked stuff. I guess I should mention that multiplayer is not yet fully impemented outside of Steam: You need to manually type the port address of the player who hosts the game. Me, I never cared much for multiplayer. Even if some of the characters are designed mostly for co-op, the singleplayer mode is really solid. The game is quite modable, with open formats: .ogg .vox, .png and .txt files. The level editor is way easy to use. Still, what we can do so far is mostly cosmetic, the good stuff being hardcoded in the executeable. However, the source code should be released 'soon'. Barony is one of the few modern roguelikes that really nailed it. There's lots of depth, the atmosphere is solid, and the game is just plain fun!

I don't usually like roguelikes

I took a risk by buying this one because I usually get annoyed by roguelikes. In fact, I got annoyed at this one as well but then I saw that in the game settings you can disable pretty much all the "hard" aspects of the game. So I disabled the hunger and the Minotaur because I like to take my time exploring the levels. I disabled random traps because I just find them unfair and distracting; I just don't get their appeal. I know you can see them but I think it just distracts from the game to be looking at the ceiling all the time. I bought the game for two more friends as well so soon I'll try some multiplayer, but I know it'll be even more fun. Many thanks to the developers for letting us play a softcore version of the game that I can truly enjoy.

Simple and Fun

I bought this game the other day when I came on to GOG to see what was on sale. I saw this game and at first was a little hesitant to buy it. After I finally talked myself into it I broke down and bought it and I had no regrets after I started playing. I played at least 20 rounds trying to make it as far as I could in the dungeon. Just when you think you are doing good you get smashed by a boulder or a giant Minotaur busts through the wall like the kool-aid man and stomps you to death. It has a good challenging/ strategic mix you have to have in order to make it past each level. My only complaint as of now with the GOG version is the only way to play multiplayer is to play LAN. Hopefully this will change in the next update. Give it a try if you want a challenge.

Don't read the wrong scrolls!

First of all, when I first launched the game, it would not let me right-click. I've spent some time trying to figure out what the problem was, and I ended up putting the game in Windows 7 compatibility mode (I'm using Windows 8.1) and in administrator mode, then it worked. Then when I finally entered the dungeon, I fought rats and skeletons... And died from hunger because I wanted to explore the WHOLE first floor... The second try, I died because I couldn't regen my health... And so on... Until that run where I met a lovely, deadly spider. And after that, there were also two runs with the very first door closed, I had to break it down. I eventually got a little better with the several runs (everyone should, technically speaking), learning from my mistakes and dashing to the next level instead of just running around in circles and taking risks in floors where I had already found the exit. But at some point, I had too much inventory, which made my character heavy and moving slowly. I dropped several useless pieces of equipment, and wanted to know if my warrior could learn a spell by reading a scroll. And I got teleported in an almost empty big room. I went through a door, saw a big baddie, got back into the room. I thought I could manage my inventory, and at that very moment the game unleashed a minotaur on me. Tried to exit by the door I had just seen, realized the Minotaur was coming from there (probably the big bad guy), tried to get to the door at the other end of the room, locked, tried to fight the Minotaur, died. So, overall, I think it's a pretty good dungeon-crawling game, pretty dark, pretty hard (I still get rektified by skeletons, also watch out for spiders). I still have to understand how to block properly though, and I think it might be a fun game in multiplayer (poor 8bit on the GOG Twitch stream though <insert Kappa here>), especially to explore the whole dungeon, not just a part of every floor. I might update this when I'll have played some more.
